Вот все чего-то пишут, изливают душу, ну или, скорее всего изливают комбинация из трех букв частей. А вот мне тоже хочеться чего-то-там излить, но не льеться. Той злости которая, по гидровлической теорий психоанализа, и создает во мне избыток давления, и потом выходит ядовитыми, но (мне) интересными оборотами -- и ее, родной, нет. Неужели я понял что самсара нирвана после того как перестал пить вино?Current Mood: found Current Music: Andromeda |

Impressions of Utah are best summed up by ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.1) kovrov (he speaks poetry without knowing it sometimes):
The salt flats.
The mormons.
Gorod etot jebanutyj.
The ministry of love in the middle of it.
The whole shabang makes it feel like a colony of Puritan outcasts on Venus out of an early american scifi story.(My impressions of the actual skiing and resorts will follow.) Current Mood:  productive Current Music: Megadeth, Youthanasia |

| » Sunday's skiing lesson -- skidded turns |
|---|
The problem with skis washboarding on hard snow in steeps is the laziness of my turn initiation. I let the skis float all the way to the fall line, and then only engage edges when they're at 90 degrees to gravity. At that point they cannot hold well, and i edge them too much and too hard. So, to fix that, here's what I should be doing - switch edges quickly, crisply, precisely
- punch the outside ski after switching edge to weigh it, transferring weight and loading it by down-weighting, NOT extending. Do this with feet, without turning hips
- When the ski is at max load towards the end of the turn start gradual unloading. Gradual.
- Stay low
- Look far ahead
- Visualize skiing sides of bowls on every turn with the ski working evenly throughout the whole turn
- Good exercises:
- stem christies (to get ski on edge before the "punch")
- release edge from standstill, engage other edge, watch ski turn, repeat
